Ennis ISD spokesman: 245 people possibly exposed to TB

At this point, the Ennis Independent School District thinks up to 245 people have possibly been exposed to tuberculosis.

The diagnosis of one of the teachers at Ennis High School was made public this week.

The teacher diagnosed was declared to be infected at some point during the summer before school started and district officials met on the topic last week.

EISD Communications Director Henry Martinez said the situation had already come under the direction of the Texas Department of State Health Services at the point of the district’s meeting last week, but was unsure exactly when DSHS contacted the EISD.
